twin disc's up-front............updated 13/06/2010

This is amazing dude. However i don't get what your welding? Just make some plates to bolt on to the Z1 mounts be they 48mm or 51mm or what ever. Then make them the right spacing for the calipers your fitting and with the right spacing for the disc.

What are you doing about the second disc rotor mount on the hub?

ave made 2 separate plates , one 48mm that bolts onto the forks and a 51mm plate for the caliper to fit onto . so it'll just ba a case of fitting the disc and finding the best point for the caliper to sit and weld the 2 plates together

and i have one of the finest fabricators this side of the moon building me a hub i'm really excited just now

Welding the plate might made them bend, then you also need to get them close enough not to add any extra mm. Carbord or plastic wrape in one layer of duct tape been better. You just need to cut to shape/size and drill 4 holes in the right place. Then you use that as a template to transfer it all.

Defo more info on the hub, PM me dude

Tempted to try this out with stuff i have at work. Got loads of A2z disc mount adapters.

You can buy bolt on IS mount adapters for running larger disks.

can you get them for non i.s. mounts to i.s. mounts ? the mounts on the forks are 3mm closer than pretty much every disc mount from 1999 onwards

i'll clamp and tac the mount first before welding it lol then tidy it up where bits might foul the forks/caliper .

i'll pm you more on the hub tomorow as i'm just about ready to hit the sack

Loving this project by the way.

Could you use a better lever and one of those BMX thingy's that split the cable?
